and auspicious. Not only does your fridge make a style statement but it is the
most important piece of furniture in your kitchen. It stores your food and ,
food in feng shui is the most important resource to build energy and life source,
which reflects directly in your family’s health and mental well being. Clean up
the hidden clutter.

Have noticed that all fridges are different, not physically
only, with top doors, two doors, four doors, drinking water facility, and bottom freezers, small and medium and big
sized refrigerators, some are spic and span but empty, some are over stocked with
contents falling over you on opening the door, and some are just unkempt.

Feng shui take on refrigerators, simple tips for creating good
chi into your kitchen and home. Stale food in fridge emits negative energy and
affects the whole family. Once in a week or so depending upon the time you have
do clean up the fridge and assess the date of expiry of food items and things ,
vegetables and fruits, eatables, going stale. See that the food stored is properly
covered and stored in your fridge. Do remove packets, empty or those which have
passed expiry date out and throw them, as people have habit of giving away this
but a thing expired which is not good for you is not good for anyone.

Keep it organized, each thing must have a place of its own, eggs,
vegetables, milk , fruits, see that they are placed in their respective places so
that every member of the family can find them and you do not lose out on and
waste precious food items as of neglect. Do not over stock, as full fridge
means good feng shui but over stocked fridge does not mean the same , it means
you are unorganized and irresponsible to nature and its gifts from universe, as
an over stocked fridge most of the times many items go waste.

Buy fridge according to your family members and needs. Buying
a large fridge and keeping it empty most of the time is unrealistic even though
you can afford it the refrigerator will emit negative vibes as you will waste precious
electricity in keeping it and also space in your kitchen. The fridge should be appropriate
according to your family needs and life style. If you need cold storage more
space buy a design as that, and if you stock cartons more of juices and chilled
drinks think and buy accordingly, and if you need to store more dry items consider
a fridge patterned like this.

Want to buy feng shui jewellery but are not sure what to buy and how much to spend on this type of healing funky colorful symbol jewellery.How to choose and buy feng shui jewelry, with market flooded with feng shui ornaments and jewellery made specially for clientelle who enjoy funky chunky symbol on their jewellery ther erae few simple tips you can consider before speeding a fortune on such ornaments.
Most of the times the jeweler will guide you about symbols in lay person language as bringing good luck, great fame and recognition, lucky stone jewellery or the one to protect from evil eye. These I have found the most searched after and sought by ladies especially in feng shui jewellery.
As Reiki symbols are painted or engraved on ear rings , rings and also pendants for bringing protection and good luck so also feng shui symbols of prosperity ,the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism, even bangles and traditional style chokers are engraved with healing symbols and people love the uniqueness of such feng shui jewellery.
While selecting choosing buying feng shui jewellery consider these simple guidelines-
Always buy from reputed shops and jewelers only, yes brand names are costlier but they also assure you the authenticity of the metal used, platinum, gold, sterling silver, silver or a mixture of five metals. Many times people focus only on the symbolic value of the feng shui jewellery and forget how much more they are paying for the piece of feng shui jewellery. I have seen many shop owners sell fake diamonds stones and semi precious stones with the label of feng shui jewellery. Buying from reputed jewelers will give you and authenticity and grade purity certificate of the metal and stone used to make the feng shui jewellery, which will help you later on when the feng shui piece looks outdated or you get over this and wish to sell the piece.
making charges should not be outlandish for a feng shui piece of jewellery and you pay only a reasonable more for this and not double. It is also possible that you bargain on this piece of jewellery to get best deals.
While buying online shopping feng shui jewellery you must consider buying from reputed sites only.

You may also first brush through the net online jewellery sites to find out which piece and symbol you love or are attracted to and then select a feng shui jewellery piece of ornament.
It is advisable to keep a budget for buying feng shui reiki symbol jewellery , remember it is the wearer who gives power to the symbols and the symbols in themselves do not have any magical powers, they are just colorful lines! the gem stones and semi precious in themselves have no power, it is the intention of the healer or the wearer that brings in the stone powers of healing.
While buying semi precious stones jewellery and rare gemstone jewellery, do consider the size and shapes by looking at the pictures and read the fine print carefully. The $200 gem stone ear rings may , when you receive them be very small good for a child's ear!as everything looks hunky dory on the web!
calculate the costs of the materials used for making this feng shui jewellery and then maybe add the transport cost and the gemstones cost and make a stable purchase.Nowadays many online shopping sites are selling cheap feng shui jewellery so if you are buying feng shui jewellery for the trendy funky look go in for plastic or cheap metal jewellery which is quiet cheap and you also get good bargains online free home delivery.
(we never own stones , there is a belief that you cannot take away anything from nature, however much you like it, if you buy it for healing or self, they are just care takers, and you have to give love and care for your healing jewellery for it to work wonders for you!)
All the Best!

Stones in feng shui have been important since ages and many therapists and healers use stones for healing. Healing stones are available in different textures and their feng shui energy is different. As with semi precious stones so also stones of rough texture, smooth, round and different shaped stones, each have different properties and uses.

Natural Pink Stone from Mountains

Collecting natural stones from different mountains , gardens, sea shores, jungles, we understand that the stone collects the energy of the place it is in. A stone by the beach has flowing tide water energy whereas as a natural stone from water falls has stored yang energy accumulated over the years by falling water with pressure.

Round Rough Natural Healing Stone Feng Shui

Mountains with water falls, the rocks found there, have another feng shui energy, one with passive yin from slow trickling water during winters to yang energy from strong water falling during rainy season. Rough textured stone, formed by natural abrasion has yin energy as we use them for healing by slow movements. Whereas smooth textured finish stones allow chi to pass quickly.

Metal Energy Stone for Healing

Stones have metal energy that give strength and energy to the place they are kept in. Many homes we see people love to collect stones and they bring good luck. Natural stones found in rocky terrains may have developed natural shapes and patterns over the years and look very beautiful artefacts are very good lucky charms.

Smooth Round Healing Stone

In feng shui the stone collects the energy from where it is being brought and we have to understand this basic information that before picking up anything from nature , do ask permission and them take this piece home, for it to bring you good luck or whatever intentions you have. Stones are very effective and they work according to intentions put in them. While you have the stones clean them with flowing water, offer some natural morning sunlight rays to the healing stones and then put the intention you want the stone for. peace, stability, focus, creativity, strength confidence energy, harmony in home, relationships healing, fame and so on.
Not only precious stones and semi precious stones but naturally found stones are also beautiful and will bring about luck.
Placement and uses of stones in feng shui-Stones right from rose quartz, amethysts and the jade have been use din gift articles, feng shui good luck charms, feng shui cures and healing cures since ages. Naturally found stones also help in the same manner if selected carefully and they are comparatively very very cheap.
Feng shui use of stone artefacts as in jade Buddha, amethysts stone tower, rose quartz pendants and pyramids, balls, etc.
Placement of stones in homes for feng shui benefits- as for education luck stones can be assembled and placed in the north east section. This will also promote feelings of confidence and self realization of goals and bring focussed energy into your life. Rock gardens are best in north east sections of your garden and they bring about good luck and harmony. Also have a stone statue or artefact in the west for strength and creativity luck.
You may also incorporate feng shui by selecting different colored stones according to feng shui colors and use them to bring harmony, wealth and good luck.
All the Best!

Contemporary furniture glass table tops is seen in most of the homes now and as glass is transparent , according to interior designers it creates space, that it it makes the room appear spacious with its reflective surface.
Feng shui energy of glass according to feng shui masters is that the Chinese prefer wooden table tops as compared to any other material for its properties of stability and strength. As for glass table tops for tea tables, dining tables though the style statement it makes is great but the feng shui energy is that which harnesses negative energy. As glass is fragile and can be easily broken any furniture made of glass is delicate and needs constant care while in the room.While sitting for eating over the dining the glass table top makes the feelings of sensitivity and fear of breaking, which affects your health, as you are careful while eating and focus more on the glass table top than your food.
Glass table tops also have another fear of people always banging into them as the edges are not visible while walking through the room, and it creates shar energy which affects the home. If you have glass table tops as in tea tables, office tables, dining tables it is better to have edges of metal or wood , that is frame outside of any other metal so that the edges are secure and visible. Contemporary tables are now having thick glass tops that are safe and unbreakable, as people love the transparency of glass it is also advisable to take care of the feng shui energy by selecting tables with glass tops having borders of wood or metal, to create harmony and balance in the home.
All the Best!

Illegal items and illegal places hold lots of negative energy. feng shui is all about harmony and balance and as feng shui masters believe each object and place has its own feng shui energy even things that are acquired with illegal means, robbed, stolen goods, foreign good not paid the dues, illegally taken away property and other things all accumulate a lot of feng shui negative energy which at first may not be prominent but will come out in later life as karmic blocks in some way or the other.
This does not mean that all foreign products things all have negative energy. When the custom taxes dues are not paid and the objects are bought from illegal shops they possess a form of energy which may be of different intensity. Many times most of the thing shave mild negative energy which moves out when the new owner uses them after purifying but there are some that have excessive negative energy which will affect adversely the new owners home and family. Music systems illegally acquired, televisions illegal ones and even cosmetics which are illegally purchased all have some form of negative energy which the buyer buys in secret and also is afraid to share. This will affect the user every time they use such products.

Feng shui masters have faced many problems in purifying antique jewellery antique paintings and many such things acquired illegally.
Karmic blocks also come up with taking property illegally from any person by fraud or misleading people and selling things. People do forget the main law of nature, what goes out comes back to you.
The effect of such objects will be seen in accumulated negative karmic blocks and energy which will come up in losses in financial business and relationships break ups later on.Deteriorating health issues and even leading to suicides from such shop owners.
Whenever you are purchasing things do buy from reputed dealers and shops , you may have to pay a few on your part and the thing will sure bring your good luck. extra but there will be no guilt Money earned from illegal means also will accumulate negative energy. It is always better to buy legal things and use them happily than to save a few rupees and use illegal goods which will affect your whole life and later on karma.

Red color, a vibrant high energy color, that is great in feng shui to bring good luck fame and wealth, used on walls may not be that good!Blue the color of career and wealth, the north when painted for the whole room may not be so good in feng shui.
Feng shui there are colors corresponding to each element and as we follow the feng shui ba gua map of all directions we also know that having the corresponding color in that area will improve the chi there and attract good luck and prosperity. With two most commonly chosen colors red and blue we see them in every home but the feng shui energy of these two are totally different. As red brings loads of feng shui energy and is considered very good uplifter of moods feng shui masters advise to use it sparingly in homes. A full room painted in red is not only over powering but also brings lots of high energy which is not good for a home. It makes individuals exposed to high red color energy irritable, angry and restless. With red color painted walls rooms there are more chances of flaring arguments and hot discussions, hence feng shui masters advise to use red with care. As Red color is the most important color that brings fame and recognition and is used for the south area of your home, but painting the whole living room red will make the home atmosphere uncomfortable and uneasy and even the guests will feel drained of energy and uncomfortable to sit for a while at your place, this will affect your family relationships career and business as well as wealth if the visitors are important business partners, colleagues, you inlaws and boss, your employer, your friends.
Blue another very commonly selected color for walls has its own soothing serene energy. painting too much blue brings too much relaxing energy which may not be good for all rooms, especially the living room which needs some energy level for socializing and communicating with all the inmates.
In feng shui masters believe red color indicates and represents fire, the fire element as we all know has lots of energy which needs to be used judiciously for your benefit.While having a red single wall of the south painted with red paint can do wonders for fame luck, a whole room may indicate the house is on fire, not literally but all the members will have strong fire energy which may lead to quarrels arguments frequently in such living rooms. You may have a red colored symbolic feng shui painting, a red flower arrangement or a red textured single wall for bringing in feng shui fame and recognition luck.
As for blue feng shui masters advise using it again sparingly in living rooms. As blue is soothing and great for bedrooms and it may not be such a good choice for living rooms where some energy is required. Blue indicates water element and painting the whole living room walls blue may indicate the whole house is drowning in water, which is not good. North is represented by blue color and as we know in feng shui blue is for career and money luck, travel and helpful friends, having too much of blue is not good. You may use this blue color as supportive to the base color used on your living room walls.
In feng shui living rooms walls are best painted using off white, beige or cream colors and you may use the element color as highlight textured painted single walls. Art pieces and wall paintings using feng shui colors is also a way to uplift the energy of your living room and also bring in lots of feng shui good luck wealth and prosperity.

Choosing the right dinner sets and crockery using simple feng shui tips . Buying costly dinner sets for personal use or gifting crockery use these simple feng shui guidelines.
Kitchen plates, dinner sets, and crockery form an important part of our kitchen. As we pay so much importance on the dining table, the dining chairs and the kitchen decor, that is walls and artefacts the most important feng shui energy is brought by the crockery we use. Each object has its own feng shui energy be it a ceramic eating plate or the costliest silver ware used to serve on occasions and for special guests.
Elements that the crockery is made of is very important while you select any dining sets. In simple terms let us understand each piece feng shui energy of the selected cutlery. As steel is dominating in most households, for its easy cleaning and toughness, forks and spoons are best in this metal giving shine and strength. The material used for dining plates and bowls used in houses vary from each place to place and family to family. While families having small children prefer tough crockery of metal stainless steel, others who have more adult members and are comfortable use ceramic and glass. Using costly dining sets does not assure you good feng shui energy, if your family is always scared of chipping some piece or accidentally breaking it.
While you may have pure silver cutlery , which has good feng shui energy, as it gives strength to the food served in them, it is also true that if you are very possessive and extra careful with them then the whole purpose of serving food is marred, to give you and your family energy.
Dinner sets having many pieces is also a trend nowadays and many people go out any buy costly dinner sets to keep up with the latest trends in lifestyle, but having a costly dinner sets displayed on the dining table does not assure great feng shui in your kitchen.
Feng shui simple tips for selecting dining sets and kitchen cutlery crockery- Very very important is to understand your family needs and each individual needs. A family with small children though can afford greats ilver ware , must have sturdy dinner sets and crockery, and they can display their antiques in a kitchen unit.This will bring in the strength of positive feng shui energy into your Kitchen with happy and comfortable individuals while eating, and also improve chi in the kitchen with displayed silver crockery. In feng shui also there is extensive use of wooden spoons and spatulas, they work into improving chi in two ways, one the wooden spoons do not get hot and the cook is comfortable using them while cooking, and the feng shui energy of wood is added into your cooked food. Wood also connects us to earth, as wood is got from earth, in the positive feng shui cycle of productivity. Chinese also prefer to cook in wooden utensils and serve in ceramic or wooden bowls.
One feng shui take on selecting and having costly large dinner sets is that one must first see the area allocated for the kitchen and dining. If the kitchen area is small and makeshift in the passage or small then no point in having a large piece, it is best in displaying section with artefacts. Also if the family is always on the go, that is working, and spend less for formal meals, again formal dinner sets are of no use.
While selecting designer dinner ware , as there are many patterns colors and designs available square shapes in dinner plates and bowls look good and also give stability energy.But the usual circle shape still rules in dinner sets and while you select designer abstract dinner sets and off beat shapes try to see that the dinner cutlery and crockery does not have any sharp edges, and are smooth and curved outlines.
Do consider your lifestyle also while you wish to use formal designer crockery in the kitchen, it may just add up to clutter if you do not have time to clean them, and most of it is unused while having meals. Buying and gifting designer dinner sets has always been in the top lists of gifting but do consider the following feng shui tips and bring in positive chi into your kitchen. You may store the costly crockery carefully and bring out only during special times, or if you have a big wall do display all your finest crockery and improve your status as well as feng shui energy of your kitchen and home.
In feng shui Masters believe, white color plates and crockery is best, or with toned down colors.Your designer crockery can have any color along with white, as white color highlights the natural food color and brings out the natural look of the food.
All the Best!

Every painting has its own energy, with the frame. As it adorns our wall
we hardly notice it as a unit. We just look at the art but the whole
frame has also a energy. It is very very important to tie the frame
firmly and securely when we display art. Strong and firm hooks on the
walls, strong twines, so the artwork feels safe, one of the reasons why
some art does not reflect what the artist has projected, its own energy
is reflected to the viewer. Stretched paintings need lots of care as a
scratch may tear the artwork. Old paintings need more love and care due
to atmospheric exposure, avoid direct sunlight, strong winds, better to
keep in controlled environment. Your paintings made with your heart and
soul in it need your care as you are the care takers till they find the
right homes.

As a healer I understand the energy each object has. With flowing pulsating energy in every individual I have seen the healing painting going through trauma of falling down. As strong negative energy or some one who is in dire need of positive healing energy pass near the symbols the painting has fallen from wall, this has happened twice for one of my healing artworks, even when it is tied .

Artist as you continue making art, pay some attention when you display paintings, to your brush, your paints, your easel, your painting frames, thank all these as they help you make art, your art will reflect all this as a whole!
I wish to make simple colorful understandable art, art that heals.

Simple Feng Shui Tips for Cleansing Costly Antiques Artefacts
Buying costly artefacts and antique objects and furniture is the latest trend. With contemporary furniture we do love to collect few collectibles like antique old furniture, carved wooden trunks, or small porcelain vases with Chinese calligraphy. Like contemporary style homes have minimalistic furniture they sure have rare antiques on display and antique old furniture pieces along side. While buying few precautions must be taken as for the feng shui energy of each antique object or resale antique old furniture.
In feng shui Masters believe each object has its own energy. As with new objects of art, paintings so also old rare antique objects and artefacts carry a lot of energy with them. the stored energy comes to the new home as you buy a piece of antique costly artefact. The previous owner, the antique shop, the place where it was displayed and the reason of the previous owner for selling this piece of costly antique piece and art. Whenever we go out to buy a antique show piece or painting we do not realize this, we just look to the price tag and what we like and would fit into our requirements. Most of the time there is good energy, but sometimes bad energy comes along to your home with the object. The previous owner may have suffered financial losses and sold this costly art piece, or the owners may have died leaving this antique furniture which ended up in garage sale, the owners may be mentally sick, or the antique dealer may have possessed this piece with fraud. The object will have this stored energy in it as it lies in the antique shop and as you buy it it transfers to your home and family.
Now I do not mean to scare people from buying old furniture or antiques, even we do like certain pieces and have added to our home, just taking right care for cleansing and then displaying would be fine. The antique shops may be gloomy and dusty and the piece though rare may have lots of stored negative energy, whereas in good reputed antique shops the furniture and antique objects are taken good care of with love and regular cleansing. I have seen people burn incense regularly and keep the premise clean with proper care of cleaning and keeping the antiques in great condition, they must with, the fortune the pieces cost!.

Looking for, art collectors are always in search of fresh new art. As we see so many artists painting and continuing so does every piece sell, or is every painting a collectors item, so to say?
While we, as artists churn out painting after painting, spreading color, pouring our heart and soul into each piece of canvas, this year 2013 new resolution, think, stay put, think, roll over ideas, toss and turn, and then paint!, While i have finished a canvas painting which hangs now for my critical review a line not looking straight needs repainting. I will be much more critical of my art before I present it to the world. I know art is not perfection but least we must be satisfied ourselves.
Art collectors are looking out for fresh talent, those who have the staying capacity. Even a poster ont eh road sells, and your art will also over time, It is not the price of the painting that is criteria for selection but looking from the eye of the art collector, they want good art, a reasonably known artist, even emerging or new but known, and of course if you are willing to check out / negotiate ,prices, good.
observe art collectors, they do not buy cheap art! The group of collectors in the world, eyeing, keeping watch, following art, loving some genres, themes, colors, you never know.As ana rtist never keep jumping from one style to another, follow one road and you will sure reach destination.
I wish to make colorful abstract symbolic understandable art, art that heals.

It is considered inauspicious to have over powering presence
of God idols all over your home. The feng shui energy created is one of
imbalance and disharmony. Though displaying God idols is considered auspicious
according to feng shui, usually for protection of main door feng shui but
having too much is not good. It creates disharmony and discord in relationships
as not all family member swill be comfortable with this concept.

All over the house when we see idols in all rooms there is no
space for creativity and other aspects of leading life. Religion and symbolic protection
from negativity should not be the main issue in your mind, it seems like obsession
with religion or collecting idols which may not go down well with everyone. Some
people display God idols and other protection symbols over the main door. This may
create disharmony among neighbours and visitors who may feel repelled to enter
your home. The over powering energy of symbols may hinder a good relationship
or a great business deal offer coming your way. People may not have the same
religious beliefs and thus displaying over powering symbols of God over the man
door and around the home may also hinder in the sale of your flat.

Some people also hang large paintings and pictures of God
and religious symbols, which again creates lot of over powering chi energy, and
we all know even positivity , too much
is harmful. By having a special place for puja and religious rites you may have
the area decorated with God idols and burn incense here. Praying here will
spread the positive energy to your home and family. As for main door feng shui
it is best to have symbolic knick knacks or simple religious icons for
protection, that which are not very huge but do the needful.

Hence in feng shui we talk all about harmony and balance. Green
healthy growing plants are best feng shui protectors from negative energy as
they soothe the senses and convert all negative energy into positive one before
it reaches your home. God idols and God paintings are best in puja rooms and
also in size appropriate to the room.

When life energy is stagnating and business is a bit slow, children
are less attentive and arguments are on soar, try a simple feng shui cure. Simple
painting of walls is the cheapest and sure way to bring tons of feng shui chi
into your home and life.

There is no need to spend fortune on painting or refurbishing
your home. Try simple painting of walls and this will bring new chi feng shui energy into your home. The whole process
involves movement of stagnating energy for the better. Homes over the years
develop negative energy in form of cracks, leakages, falling paint, and dullness.
While painting walls the whole furniture is removed or shifted and also
cleaned, by this we sort out what is needed and what can be thrown, clutter clearing
a very very important part of feng shui, and this happens when you start painting
walls of your home.

Cracks are filled and painting done with the choice of your
colors will make all members happy and excited. While this is going on the kitchen
and bathroom and all the taps are also inspected for any leaks and repaired
hence saving water, money in feng shui, which was going down the drain. Using feng shui color
guide for painting living room, kitchen and bedrooms along with children’s room
and guest rooms will also bring positive energy into your home. Here a suggestion
would be to follow your personal preferences and colors you and your family are
comfortable with and not blindly follow the ba gua feng shui color guide. Feng
shui colors can be incorporated in terms of artefacts feng shui paintings or
small knick knacks to balance the color and element of that area.

The smooth colored walls allow positive chi to flow smoothly
and hence makes the people energetic and full with new energy. Painting homes a
cheap way to bring lots of positivity into your home and lives, and while selecting
texture paint and rough finishes for walls do take the opinion of the whole
family, the needs of the rooms and individual family members using them, and also the cost required. Stones and rough
textures in wall paints slows down chi and is not good where more energy is required.
A cozy bedroom wall needs smooth walls and rough stones may make the environment
cold, here again the customer is spoiled for choice and there are may healing colors
and textures that benefit by textured walls when a great painting is displayed,
that attracts the viewers eye!

Buying an old home, or flat in resale, many people try to
get a good bargain deal and are happy with getting a house at lower rate than
other flats in that locality. We try to convince ourselves that the sale is a
desperate sale and the flat owner needs money hence they are selling it for low
price. Only when you shift do you come to know the history of the house and
this also affects the new buyer in terms of illnesses, quarrels and arguments in
family and also financial unexpected sudden losses.

Feng shui energy of every home must be carefully checked by
enquiring about the history of the previous owners staying here. It so happens
that some one has died of accident, illness, or maybe the previous couple have
had arguments and divorced, maybe they were a childless couple and newly weds entering
such homes will be affected with this negative blocked energy in the home. Feng
shui consultants do believe that any home needs space clearing to remove
negative energy and also after any arguments or illnesses the home needs to be
space purified to allow positive energy into your home and life.

It is best to avoid such sales even if you get it very cheap,
or if you have no option then a thorough space clearing at least for a month be
carried from a professional space clearing feng shui consultant. There is
blocked energy over the years that will not come out easily by just burning incense
or doing one ritual or blessing the home. In feng shui we know that each object
has energy, the furniture, doors, television and also your garden, all pulsate
with energy all the time. In case of dead energy, that is home left closed for
months, years there are major blocks and stagnating energy in and around the home
that will affect any new owner who enters the place. In case the previous owner
ahs left all the old furniture you must
also purify all these items individually. If a sick couple have been bedridden on
the bed, if the easy chair had hosted a mental patient, or if the childless couple
were lonely for their life, all this will affect the new owners life.

It is important that if you get a family home where there is
lots of energy bubbling with small children and teenagers then this energy is
good , even if the previous owners family may be facing financial problems, energy
from small children is considered good and a home blessed with children is considered
auspicious in feng shui. History not seen before hand may lead to major energy
disasters leading even to extreme mental breakdown and separation of the new
owners.

By using feng shui purification space clearing this stubborn
negative energy blocks are loosened and removed to allow free flow of chi into
the home. It is advisable to respect the energy and ask permission to allow for
changes there. As in life even in energy there is good energy and bad energy in
every individual and object. If this energy balances with your energy you are happy
and peaceful in the home and if it clashes then you feel disturbed, this is also
one of the reasons why you do not get along with some people and with some you
rock!

Simple tips for space clearing would involve burning incense
regularly with open windows and doors to remove all negativity. Furniture,
wardrobes, kitchen cabinets also need space clearing. You may also chant your religious mantras in and around the house
for purification. Symbols for protection on the main door, and also sprinkle holy
water around the whole place, even your backyard, attic and garden if the home
has one.
All the Best!

Wishing all readers of Feng Shui Simple Cures a very Very Happy
Healthy Healing New Year 2013. With the home getting a fresh coat of paint the
feng shui energy has instant recharged! That will be discussed in another post.
Let us understand textures in fabrics used in our homes and their feng shui
energy.
Textured upholstery fabric, rough sequined cushions, velvety bedsheets, are all a part of the upholstery we see in every home. Each fabric has its individual feng shui energy. This way when you understand the feng shui energy of fabrics you can make way for peaceful feelings for bedroom or energetic living rooms loaded with lots of chi in your home.
With rough fabrics in cushions the energy moving is slow as the ridges and rough texture prevent chi to travel in straight line and slowers the movement of energy in a room. Thus when you wish to get a slow energy feeling , like in a relaxed living room when the family winds up for the day and watches television , you may select cushions that are soft fuzzy velvetty , that which slow the feng shui energy inside the room and make a feeling of stability and peace.
While selecting fabrics for upholstery curtains the same principle applies. If the fabric is rough and textured the curtains are heavy and do not move with the wind. Such fabrics are advisable when you need privacy and the living room or office faces a bad scene outside. Silk and soft materials for curtains are used when you wish to have an open feeling, such fabrics allow chi to move smoothly and make the environment peaceful and relaxing for the inmates.
While we lay importance on textures we also must keep in mind the element shapes and feng shui colors for selecting fabrics for upholstery purposes, not forgetting the area for display, a living room needs a different textured fabric whereas an office will have different requirements. It is very important to choose the correct textured fabric for upholstery and not just go in for costly latest designs. A silk printed curtain, however rich looking would not be suitable for an office where the wind constantly blows as this will make for negative energy in form of always holding the curtain in place, or the curtain flying in the face of clients!

Bedsheets of rough texture would not be good as they will not give a good nights sleep and you would be tossing and turning in bed.
Feng shui in life brings peace and harmony and makes your home inviting and relaxing. Choosing the right fabric brings lots of positive energy into your home and office.Shiny fabrics have yang energy and increase the flow of energy into any space. Rough fabrics have yin energy that slows down energy into any room. Usually for offices and great business offices yang energy is required.hence selecting bright vibrant color upholstery improves chi. Square patterns for east, round for west, triangles for south and wavy patterns for north section of the home are advisable.
All the Best from Rizwana!
